Sunday morning

Continuing my restful weekend, I left the apartment at 8am.  Rostek and Danny won't be up for hours.  I took the metro to the center.  On the metro, it's common for vendors or beggars to get on one stop, hawk their wares and then get off at the next stop.  This morning a very bent over old lady beggar got on, when anyone gave her anything, and several did, she'd loudly cross herself and pray for them briefly.   When I arrived at the center, I walked down Khreshchatik St and roamed around the city till I arrived at the Cathedral of St. Vladimir.  I went in for a little while, a bishop was presiding at liturgy and the choir was wonderful.  There is no musical instrument except harmonized human voice.  I made my two minute video outside the church and continued my walk.  During my walk, I had an unfortunate encounter and lost a significant amount of money.  I walked to a metro and went to have late breakfast at Glossary Organic Cafe and sent my video to church.  Of all the things I could have for breakfast, I chose porridge.  Comfort food with nuts and dried apricots.

I'm going back to the apartment as soon as I eat to lie down for a few hours before heading back to the center to meet friends for a gathering. Here's the link to my pics from this morning: https://picasaweb.google.com/nundabud/20110605?authkey=Gv1sRgCK3Q2Yvo3qObIQ#
